- Various — Caribbean winter, Mediterranean summer
Marella Discovery joined the fleet in 2016 following a refurbishment of the former Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas. She operates Mediterranean summers and Caribbean winters as one of Marella's two dual-hemisphere ships.
Discovery carries the full Marella onboard product — Champneys spa, Broadway Show Lounge, Squid & Anchor pub, specialty dining — under the all-inclusive fare structure with TUI charter flights included.
Her Caribbean winter deployment from Montego Bay is one of the shortest routes onto an all-inclusive cruise for UK guests.
